Behind the paint
I make dreamy, imaginative art from my little corner of Utah.
My work usually begins with a feeling, a memory, or an image I cannot stop thinking about. I am drawn to watery blues, hidden worlds, celestial light, adventurous women, and the tiny details that make ordinary life feel a little more magical. I work through painting, ink, illustration, portraits, and whatever medium the idea calls for.
April Anyway is both a reminder and a little piece of me. April is my birthday month, and “anyway” is my promise to keep creating even when the timing is messy or imperfect. This is a place for everything I make with feeling.

Blue keeps finding its way into my work because it holds two feelings at once. Hope and melancholy, promise and longing.

April Anyway is both a promise to keep creating and a quiet signature. April is my birthday month, so it represents me too.

Evie is always nearby, supervising from a sunny spot and quietly witnessing all the awkward middle stages no one else sees.
